A break gives you time to recover from the treatment and regain your strength. If it is a slow-growing tumour like John's, then a few weeks makes little difference but I am not sure about a few months. There are a lot of immunotherapy trials it seems, so hopefully one of them will work for you. If you are going into a phase 3 trial, you may want to find out if it is a double blind test with a control group and a test group.
Keeping you and your wife on my mind always.
